Looking Good in your 40s, 50s and 60s

Noninvasive cosmetic procedures are a great way to take years off your look—at every age! The nonsurgical approach offers flexibility, allowing each person to have a customized treatment plan. I especially think they are great for those who would prefer not to have a sudden or dramatic change. Here are some of my basic recommendations for cosmetic treatments in your40s, 50s and 60s:

40s

Start early with BOTOX and frown lines will never develop! Enhance lips with dermal filler to maintain the fullness of the 30s.

50s

Tighten sagging and loose skin in its early stages on the face and body with collagen stimulating treatments like Thermage. Use dermal fillers for smile lines to soften your look.

60s

Expand the use of dermal fillers to correct a thinning face, sunken cheeks and hollow eyes. When done correctly, these “Liquid Face Lifts” can restore your facial features to younger contours. Also, youthful results are seen when fillers are used to replenish volume in the earlobes (earrings will sit better) and the brow (eye lids will appear lifted).

Remember, starting early with safe and effective treatments slows the visible aging process. So, start now! As time goes by, there is no such thing as “too late.” Combinations of small procedures can yield big results that delay or even eliminate the need for aggressive surgery.

Have you had a noninvasive procedure done that made you look 5 to 10 years younger? Please share your experience!
